64. LIZARDS BIBLIOGRAPHY
    general. lizards in Captivity, Richard H. Wynne, TFH. As a guide to a comprehensiveselection of lizards and their general requirements, this is a good book.  
    http://www.nafcon.dircon.co.uk/lizards7.html
    
    Extractions: Last updated: 19 July 2003. Added Lizards in the Terrarium and corrected and improved navigation links at the bottom of the page BIBLIOGRAPHY The following is a list of books which deal with all lizards, or with a whole family (eg Varanidae). Books that deal with a group of or individual lizards are included under the appropriate sub-section (see Lizard Guide on the previous pages). General reptile books are dealt with under the appropriate section. As a guide to a comprehensive selection of lizards and their general requirements, this is a good book. It lists the families and their most representative species, and gives basic care notes on each one, including breeding. There are also chapters on housing, feeding and breeding. My only slight quibble with the author is that he does seem in places to underplay the difficulty in practice of keeping some of the lizards mentioned, eg the rarer agamas. Unlike a lot of TFH books, the pictures in this book are all relevant and very attractive, including a large number of colour plates. Well worth the buy.

    http://coloherp.org/cb-news/Vol-28/cbn-0105/Monitors.html
    
    Extractions: Based on a presentation by Luke Campbell at their February meeting. General info: Very active, high metabolism, very intelligent. Breeding: In the last ten years great leaps have been made in the captive reproduction of monitors. Buzzwords: Keep them hot and feed them a lot. Why are monitors different from other lizards? They are very active. Most reptiles cannot run and breathe at the same time, because they share the same muscles for running and breathing. Monitors have developed a highly muscular area of the throat allowing them to breathe while running. Their lungs are subdivided, greatly increasing the surface area, allowing a greater intake of oxygen from the air they breathe. Cardiovascular: Most lizards have a three chambered heart. Monitors have a modified three chambered heart that makes them very similar to mammal's and bird's four chamber hearts. This gives them the advantage of getting oxygen rich blood to their body more efficiently. Thermoregulation: Building a proper burrow: Burrows are for security. Monitors like a nice tight space, where they can feel the space on both top and bottom. Thermoregulation of burrow. This is where they can escape from extremes in temperature. This is where they can hide from hot days, or warm up through cool periods. Burrows are also typically humid. When a monitor sleeps in a water dish it is a sign that their burrow may be too dry.

    Temperament — Monitor lizards, in general, are known for being nervous and difficultanimals to deal with; however, Asian Water Monitors can be quite docile  
    http://www.reptilia.org/care_sheets/Lizards/asianwatermonitor.htm
    
    Extractions: General Information Distribution Habitat Adult Size Temperament Longevity Captive Care Rating Diet : Asian Water Monitors enjoy a meal of rodents, other small mammals, eggs (of any type), fish, snails, other seafood, and small amounts of high quality (read low FAT) cat food. Temperature : The daytime temperature should be between 85 and 90oF and the nigh time temperature range should be between 79 and 82oF. Space : Due to their large adult size and very active nature, Asian Water Monitors need a great deal of space. One of these animals should have a room sized enclosure to move around in as an adult. Breeding : Asian Water Monitors typically breed during the rainy season and lay between 6 and 30 eggs a few of months after breeding. The gestation period for the eggs is usually between 85 and 200 days depending on incubation temperature. Special Requirements : As mentioned above, these animals are very large as adults and live to be between 20 and 30 years old. Therefore, a considerable space and time requirement must be met to keep these animals happy and healthy. Because monitor lizards can inflict a painful bite - even as juveniles, it is essential that they become used to human contact so that they can be managed safely. Furthermore, since all animals are unpredictable, thick gloves should be worn when working with the animal even if it is docile.

DigiMorph Contributors Expert annotation About Horned Lizards Text by Dr. Wendy Hodges Click on images for larger views. Horned lizards, genus Phrynosoma , are fascinating, unique and easily recognized animals. They were introduced to European audiences in 1651 through the writing of a Spaniard, Francisco Hernandez. During his travels in Mexico from 1570-1577, Hernandez was fortunate to observe a living horned lizard squirt blood from its eyes. He noted this unique defensive behavior in his report on the first scientific expedition to Mexico by Spain. Nearly two centuries later, in 1828, Wiegmann coined the formal scientific generic name Phrynosoma Images of horned lizards can be found in the artwork and pottery of Native Americans, on tags of high-end outdoor clothing, as stuffed animals in toy stores, on wood carvings at local festivals… they seem as popular as ever. But however common they may be in culture, they are becoming increasingly uncommon in nature. Declining populations are primarily associated with landscape-scale human disturbances such as urbanization and agriculture. Unfortunately, the popularity and habits of horned lizards make them highly susceptible to large-scale collection for the pet trade; they make terrible pets, for reasons discussed below.

    Extractions: heritage area Reptiles in the Tropics - General Information Every year, new species of reptiles are described. At last count in Cogger's Reptiles of Australia, 2000 edition, 1050 species of reptiles and frogs had been described. At least 131 of these occur specifically in the Wet Tropics with a least another 20 in the region but not rainforest dependent. Some of North Queensland's reptiles are well known, invoking strong reactions such as the Taipan, the Estuarine Crocodile and the Death Adder. But the Far North has some other reptilian notables as well such as Australia's largest snake, the primeval forest dragon and the very popular sea turtles who frolic in another famous World Heritage Area, the Great Barrier Reef The local reptiles are a diverse group of animals including lizards without legs, poisonous snakes on land and in the sea, freshwater turtles with long necks, goannas as long as 1.5 metres, the smallest skinks which only an expert could identify, geckos with unusual tail shapes and two types of crocodiles. The concentration of endemic reptiles is greater in the Wet Tropics than in any other area of Australia. Out of 24 species which are exclusively rainforest inhabitants, 18 of them are found nowhere else. Many of the Wet Tropics skinks and lizards are very closely related to species in New Guinea and Southeast Asia and probably originated there while two of the resident geckos are thought to be

    Horned lizards are no exception to the general rule that lizards are not attractedto dead insects as food—the ants must be alive and moving for the lizard  
    http://www.desertmuseum.org/books/nhsd_horned_lizard.html
    
    Extractions: Spanish name: camaleón Distinguishing Features Range Regale horned lizard Horned lizards are found throughout the Sonoran Desert region from near sea level up to 11,300 feet (3440 m). Some species are widespread, such as the round-tailed and Texas horned lizards which occur in several U.S. and Mexican states, while the flat-tailed horned lizard (P. mcalli) is restricted to southwestern Arizona, extreme southeastern California, a small part of northeastern Baja California and the upper neck of northwestern Sonora, Mexico. Habitat Horned lizards are found in extremely diverse habitats. The flat-tailed horned lizard occurs in areas of fine sand, while the short-horned lizard (P. douglassii) is found in shortgrass prairie all the way up into spruce-fir forest. The most common species in the Arizona Upland subdivision is the regal horned lizard (P. solare), which frequents rocky or gravelly habitats of arid to semiarid plains, hills and lower mountain slopes. Life History The diet of some horned lizards consists of specific insects, while other species are more catholic in their tastes. Not only does P. solare prefer ants, it has a strong preference for harvester ants, which may make up to 90 percent of its diet. As diets go, ants are low return items because so much of their body consists of indigestible chitin. Thus, the regal horned lizard must eat a great number of ants to meet its nutritional needs. This diet requires space, which is why the stomach of the regal horned lizard may represent up to 13 percent of its body mass.
